Government Cracking Down on Feds Watching Porn During Work

The problem of federal employees watching pornography while on duty runs so stunningly deep that members of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform felt compelled to approve a bill Wednesday aimed at putting a stop to this madness.

Now just think about this. How corrupt must someone be to waste on pornography the taxpayers’ money that funds both their salary and government equipment? Plenty corrupt.

And sadly, the government hosts a large number of these debauched delinquents. According to NBC affiliate WRC, “(a)lmost 100 federal government employees have admitted to or been caught viewing copious amounts of pornography while on the job in the past five years.”

Moreover, during a House Oversight Committee hearing two years ago, Rep. Jason Chaffetz revealed that the Environment Protection Agency’s Office of Inspector General had investigated at least three instances of agency employees watching pornography while at work.

To make matters worse, one of those employees was still gainfully employed with the EPA as of 2015.

These reports are astonishing, though they do at least explain why H.R. 680 was necessary.

“This one is a no-brainer,” Rep. Mark Meadows, the Carolina Republican who introduced the bill, said Wednesday, according to The Daily Caller.

True, but it should also be a “no-brainer” that watching pornography at work is a huge no-no. But apparently it’s not.

This suggests that instead of just instituting “extreme vetting” for incoming immigrants and refugees, perhaps Congress should mandate the same for government job applicants as well — because quite frankly, people with such a lack of regard for basic decency should never have been allowed into the government in the first place.
